Nguyen Van Dien, Director of the Park said on July 7 that the forests in Dinh Quan District of Dong Nai Province previously belonged to La Nga Forestry Limited Company.
The area is 26 kilometres long and is a range of successive forests close to that park. The forests currently have no human inhabitants.
According to Dien, the company decided to hand over the forests to the park as the area is too large for them to adequately manage.
“The forest takeover is a positive move to provide more favourable conditions for several rare and precious wild animals such, as bulls, yellow-cheeked gibbons, black-shanked douc and Asian elephant. It will also foster preservation at the park,” he added.
The park’s management board will report to the provincial government, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as the government to legalise their ownership over the additional area
